The Sun Hydraulics WTW (Material Number: WTW) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic applications requiring high flow capacity. This particular model features a body with through port 2, high capacity port 3, and an additional gauge port, making it suitable for complex hydraulic circuits. It is constructed with precision and durability in mind, utilizing 6061-T651 aluminum known for its excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity under pressure. The manifold includes two mounting holes threaded at .375-16 UNC 2B, each with a depth of .62 inches, allowing secure installation in various systems. It supports a single open cavity (T19A) and is compatible with SAE 16 port sizes. The WTW manifold excels in applications where efficient fluid control and distribution are essential. Its robust design ensures reliable performance up to a maximum system pressure of 3000 psi (210 bar), making it ideal for demanding hydraulic systems without exceeding the material's pressure rating limitations. The absence of anodizing on the aluminum body helps maintain cost-effectiveness while avoiding potential issues related to fatigue life and torque during disassembly. This Sun Hydraulics manifold is engineered to support high flow valves effectively, ensuring optimal performance in hydraulic circuits requiring precise control and flexibility. Its compatibility with Sun\u2019s cartridge cavities further enhances its application versatility, providing users with the ability to customize their hydraulic systems according to specific requirements.

Show FAQ

Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.
Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
